Explore Beverly through a new lens on this scenic walking tour inspired by Historic Beverly’s postcard collection. Once known as the “Garden City” for its tree lined streets & coastal beauty, Beverly’s shoreline drew visitors seeking fresh ocean air, open views and summer escape. As we stroll through the historic “Gold Coast” surrounding Mackerel Cove, we’ll compare historic postcards with the present day landscape, discovering what has changed and what still endures. Along the way, we’ll encounter stories connected to figures like Isabella Stewart Gardner, Louisa Loring, and Alice James, all drawn to Beverly’s elegant seaside charm. Join us for a relaxed walk through history filled with postcard views, ocean breezes, and the timeless beauty of Beverly. Registration is mandatory, admission is free, donation appreciated. Join us for this monthly tradition of learning and discovery.
